Moreover, it is of vital importance to ‘educate the educators’. There should be special provision regarding the training of language teachers who are assigned classes with minority students. Teachers need to be provided with the proper scientific and methodological scaffolding in order to overcome especially the challenges they face when teaching English to minority bilingual or trilingual students, whose mother-tongue is not Greek and whose language attainment regarding the Greek language is—as previously mentioned—quite low. The fact that Greek is often used in FL activities such as the mediation activities, poses additional impediments to teaching minority students. |
